Want to know when D* is launching the new HD Channels?

So it is kinda likely that I will get to keep HDNet and UniversalHD without having to upgrade to "Premium"? BTW I dont even see Universal listed in any of the packages...only under the all HD channels tab.

Hello all, first post here and have been reading a lot of this for about an hour though. I have seen many comments about directv being secretive about the released documents... I do not think it is a mystery at all, it is very simple. since the channels will be grandfathered to existing hd access subscribers, they most likely do not want a rush of subscribers prior to release just to beat the new cost..... after all, the reason to grandfather is to reward and not to tick off lotal customers,,, why reward someone who is just trying to take advantage of an information leak?

This is the document that broke the camel's back for me. The fact that it lists MTV, VH1 and CMT as separate HD channels flies in the face of DIRECTV's note on their HD Access web page that they will be adding MHD "soon".

DirecTV now has logos for MTV HD and VH1 HD in addition to MHD.

Hi. I'm another newbie here. Does anyone know if Monsters HD has a chance to ever be on Directv?

[syphix]

Steve - probably not. It's a channel that's "owned" by Dish Network. It'll be a cold day in hell before D* pays E* money for content.

BUT...since Liberty Media now has majority ownership of D* -- and also owns Starz! (and more) -- perhaps a "trade" may happen...
